Our Approach to Productivity
We don't believe in hustle culture, growth hacking, or burning out for success. The essays here reflect a different approach:
- Sustainable over intense: Building practices you can maintain for years, not months
- Systems over motivation: Creating structures that work even when you don't feel inspired
- Focus over multitasking: Deep work beats shallow productivity theater
- Rest as strategy: Recovery isn't optional—it's how you stay creative long-term
- Authenticity over optimization: Your real voice matters more than perfect SEO
If this resonates with you, these essays are for you.
